Three days later, the Feng family of Qixia Mountain was decorated with lanterns and streamers.
The old ancestor of the Feng family wore a festive red robe. With Feng Ni 'er, the new master of the family, he swept away his former dejection and stood in front of the door with a ruddy face, welcoming guests from all over with a smile.
As the Tianze Sect rose like a comet, its fame spread overnight and solidified its title as the top sect in the secular world. Countless people wanted to be on good terms with the Tianze Sect but could not enter.
Thus, when they learned that the master of the Tianze Sect would personally come to the Feng family to marry Feng Pianwu, the ancient martial sects and families that had been waiting to see the Feng family become a joke or even help the Long family suppress them immediately came to congratulate them, wanting to use the opportunity to repair their relationship with the Feng family.
According to the old ancestor of the Feng family's temper in the past, he would not have given these opportunists any face. However, after experiencing the crisis of life and death for his family, he knew that the Feng family's present situation was all thanks to Ding Ning. He no longer dared to be arrogant and give others a bad attitude. He welcomed any guest who came to congratulate them with a smile.
After all, he knew very well that Ding Ning did not like him. This time, he had helped the Feng family because of Feng Pianwu. At most, he would protect the Feng family from destruction in the future. He would not ask about everything and do his best to help the Feng family develop and grow.
Thus, the only thing the Feng family could do was to use the time Ding Ning had bought to develop and grow. At the very least, they had to have the power to contend with the Long family.
This caused him to change his usual temperament and do his best to maintain good relations with the various ancient martial sects. He did not hope that they would help him in the future, but at the crucial moment, they would not hit him when he was down.
On the other hand, Feng Ni 'er was young and impetuous. When she saw the ancient martial artists who had helped the Long family suppress them, she did not give them any face at all.
These ancient martial arts sects also knew that they were in the wrong. Although they were unhappy, they did not show it on their faces. They thickened their skin and were snubbed. In order to express their sincerity in reconciling, they gave up a large amount of precious congratulatory gifts.
They were really afraid. The Long Family was powerful, but compared to the Tianze Sect, they were nothing. Any one of the Tianze Sect's protectors could easily wipe out the Long Family. How could they, who couldn't even compare to the Long Family, stand a chance?
It should be known that they were all experienced people and well-informed. They knew that the great ancestor of the Feng family was not favored by Ding Ning and had placed all their hopes on Feng Ni 'er, the new head of the family. Her attitude was very important. If they could not obtain her forgiveness and one day whispered in Feng Pianwu's ear, their sects and families would be in trouble.
As the saying goes, don't slap a smiling person. They came with a smiling face, apologized, and sent a large amount of congratulatory gifts. To a certain extent, it made up for the loss of the Feng Family some time ago.
Feng Ni 'er only revealed a slight smile because of these congratulatory gifts. These powers all let out a long sigh of relief and knew that this calamity had passed.
But it was useless to just reconcile. They had to think of a way to curry favor with the Feng family. Otherwise, if the Long Family lost their minds and came to settle accounts with them, they would not be able to bear it.
Thus, these people stayed where they were and refused to leave. They offered the most favorable conditions to deepen their cooperation with the Feng family.
Although she despised these people's conduct, Feng Ni 'er was no longer the willful and ignorant little girl of the past. She knew that if the Feng family wanted to develop, they had to deepen their cooperation with more powers. Immediately, she welcomed them with a smile and began to discuss cooperation with them.
One was willing to be beaten and the other was willing to be beaten. Very quickly, Feng Ni 'er reached an agreement with these powers on almost free terms.
In the end, both sides were very satisfied. The Feng family was satisfied. After this cooperation, not only had they recovered all their previous losses, they had also made a great profit. Those fence-sitters were satisfied. Although they had suffered a great loss, they had managed to curry favor with the Feng family. Perhaps in the future, they could even gain a relationship with the Tianze Sect. This loss was worth it.
Ever since the Great Elder of the Long Family, Long Feijue, received the news three days ago that Ding Ning was going to personally go to the Feng family to marry Feng Pianwu, he flew into a rage and smashed his favorite cloisonne tea set into pieces. He cursed Ding Ning for going too far and then spat up blood and fainted to the ground.
This caused the entire Long Family to be in chaos. The acting head of the family, Long Feiyang, had died. The head of the family, Long Xiaotian, was determined to take revenge and had gone to travel the world in search of opportunities. Now, Long Feijue was so angry that he had spat up blood and fainted. The entire Long Family did not even have a leader. Everyone was in a state of panic and there was a sense of crisis that was about to collapse.
Fortunately, Long Feijue quickly regained consciousness. After he woke up, his first order was to temporarily stop all attacks against the Feng family.
Everyone in the Long Family secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Many of them were even overjoyed. To be honest, they were really afraid that Long Feijue would stubbornly persist in going about things the wrong way. If he insisted on going against the Feng family with an egg, he would really be seeking his own death.
More importantly, the Long Family and the Feng family had always been on good terms. Every generation, there would be a marriage alliance. It could be said that there was a connection between them. Many members of the Long Family also had the blood of the Feng family flowing in their veins. They were not willing to shed all pretense of cordiality with the Feng family for the sake of an arrogant and despotic Long Feiyang.
It was only due to the orders of the family head that they had no choice but to attack the Feng family. However, most of them only paid lip service but did not contribute. Otherwise, with the strength of the Long Family, the Feng family would not have been able to last until now.
After watching his clansmen leave in joy, Long Feijue, who was pretending to be dignified, slumped on the chair as if he had instantly aged a few decades. His gaze was unfocused as he looked at the empty room and muttered in a low voice, "Did I do something wrong? Most of the clansmen are not willing to become enemies with the Feng family, but I'm stubborn and insist on avenging Feiyang. "
However, as soon as Long Feiyang was mentioned, the gaze in Long Feijue's eyes became firm again. He clenched his fists tightly and revealed a ferocious hatred on his face. "Feiyang, don't worry. I won't let you die in vain. Even if the Long Family is exterminated, I'll definitely avenge you."
If the Long Family heard this, they would definitely turn pale with fright. One must know that Long Feiyang was Long Feijue's biological younger brother. However, it sounded like he was Long Feijue's son. It was obvious that there was something fishy going on. Once the news spread, it would definitely become the biggest scandal in the history of the Long Family.
However, it was not difficult to understand. After all, the Long Family was a family with the blood of the Dragon Clan flowing in their veins. Dragons were lustful by nature.
Moreover, even the Long Family did not know that the real number one expert in the Long Family was not Long Feijue but his mother, Hu Qianhua.
However, decades ago, Hu Qianhua, who was already in the Demigod Realm, had left the Long Family to look for an opportunity to break through. Since then, she had disappeared without a trace. Even the Patriarch of the Long Family did not know whether she was dead or alive.
Although Long Feijue had sworn to avenge his son, he was not a brainless person. He would not foolishly try to break a rock with an egg. Instead, he buried his hatred at the bottom of his heart and slowly waited for the opportunity to take revenge.
Therefore, the Feng Family's wedding was very grand. Not only did all the ancient martial arts sects send people to congratulate them, but even the other six Sacred Sects and the National Warrior's Mansion, apart from the Tianji Pavilion, sent people to congratulate them with generous gifts.
Even some foreign underground forces that were not related to the Feng Family also sent people to congratulate them with generous gifts.
Although everyone knew that these forces did not come for the Feng Family but for Ding Ning, it did not stop the Feng Family from being proud of themselves. All of them held their heads high and their chests out. Even their footsteps became much lighter.
When a man achieved enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs would ascend to heaven.
"The Feng Family has a good daughter."
Many sect and family representatives spoke with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
But no matter how jealous they were, it was useless. Every family had a beautiful girl, but there was really no one who could grow to be as beautiful as Feng Pianwu. Therefore, they could only look on and lament their inadequacy. They did not hope to take the route of marriage to climb onto Ding Ning's thick thigh.
"The auspicious hour is almost here. Why hasn't Fifth Aunt's milkman come yet? There won't be any changes, will there? "
The muscles on Feng Ni 'er's face were almost stiff from smiling. Seeing that the guests had all taken their places and were seated at the banquet prepared by the Feng Family, but they still did not see Ding Ning's wedding procession, she could not help but ask worriedly.
Hearing this, the Great Elder of the Feng Family's heart also began to beat like a drum. If Ding Ning suddenly went back on his word and did not come to fetch the bride, then the Feng Family would become the laughingstock of the entire ancient martial arts world. But after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "He probably won't. After all, he was the one who said this. Also, Pianwu is still waiting for him at the Feng Family. If he said that he might go back on his word to marry you, I would believe him. But he definitely won't marry Pianwu."
Feng Ni 'er's face flushed red at this disrespectful grandfather. She pouted coquettishly and said, "Grandfather, what nonsense are you saying? He is my fifth aunt's milkman. How could he come to marry me? "
The Great Elder of the Feng Family chuckled unconcernedly and said meaningfully, "What's wrong with that? Jianghu women do not bother with trifles. Besides, although Pianwu is my cousin, she has long left the Five Ranks. There is no violation of ethics. At most, people will gossip about her. As long as Pianwu has no objections, I have no objections."
This old fox had a good plan. Right now, the Feng Family and the Long Family were like fire and water. There was no possibility of Feng Ni 'er and Long Xiaotian's marriage. It was very difficult for the Feng Family to deal with the Long Family alone. Only by borrowing Ding Ning's power could the Feng Family be in an invincible position and even restore the glory of the eight great ancient martial families of the past.
So even though Feng Pianwu had already married Ding Ning, he still felt that it was not safe. After all, he had treated Pianwu that way in the beginning. Additionally, Pianwu's personality was cold and she did not have a strong sense of belonging to the Feng Family. If Feng Ni 'er could also marry Ding Ning, then the Feng Family could truly rest easy.
"Grandfather, don't talk nonsense. If you keep talking, he won't care about you anymore."
Feng Ni 'er stamped her feet and said with a red face. However, her heart was beating like a little rabbit and she revealed an expression of extreme shyness.
The Great Elder of the Feng Family did not say anything more but he already knew what his granddaughter was thinking. He revealed a cunning smile that was full of foresight.
When comparing goods to goods, one had to throw them away.
Long Xiaotian was indeed very outstanding but that depended on who he was compared to. Compared to others of his age, he was indeed outstanding but compared to Ding Ning, there was no comparison.
Before, Feng Ni 'er felt that she liked Long Xiaotian but that was because they had been engaged since they were young and they were childhood sweethearts. That was why Feng Ni' er had decided on him.
To put it bluntly, that was not love. It was just an ignorant feeling similar to a psychological suggestion. In addition, among the people of the opposite sex that Feng Ni 'er knew, Long Xiaotian was the most outstanding fiancé. She naturally thought that he was the one for her.
However, after she met Ding Ning, Long Xiaotian's position in her heart was no longer so stable. Especially since the Long and Feng Families were at odds with each other, their engagement had already become invalid. It was reasonable for Feng Ni 'er to fall in love with someone else.
As for whether or not Ding Ning would accept Feng Ni 'er, the Great Elder of the Feng Family was not worried. A man chasing a woman was separated by mountains and a woman chasing a man was separated by layers of muslin. Furthermore, Ding Ning was famous for his flirtatiousness.
Thus, as long as Feng Ni 'er liked Ding Ning in her heart, if she could take the initiative and persuade Pianwu to have some pillow talk, then it was basically a matter in the bag.
